Hello,  I'm Bill ! 

My Goals

I wish to become a great game designer, and to one day have contributed to the development of the greatest video games in the world. I would like to join a community of game developers who share the same ambitions. I would like to further develop my skills in Level Design, Combat Design, 3D Art and Environmental Art. I feel confident in my understanding of the game design process and I would like to learn more about it from professionals in the industry.

My Details

I was born in a small town in California. I am proud to have recently earned a bachelors degree in video game design, from California State University: Chico. I am good at being part of a team. Working with others towards a common goal is an amazing experience that I am honored to share. I am a veteran of the US Army, and I learned a lot about team work and leadership while serving. Soon I will be married to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, and we hope to start a family some day.

My Interests

Video Games are my biggest passion. I have played them ever since I was 3 years old, and I don't image that I will ever stop. I love a variety of genres, and I enjoy games that challenge me. Aside from games, I love watching sports, and getting plenty of exercise, because staying physically active makes me feel good. I enjoy working with my hands, and in my spare time I practice crafts like wood-working recreationally. I love Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Post-Apocalyptic shows, and I enjoy history and studying cultures.
